Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAgnès Ferté is a cosmologist and scientist at SLAC with eight years of post-PhD research experience applying cutting-edge survey data to test and refine our models of the Universe, most recently contributing to high-profile analyses tied to the Rubin Observatory. Her career spans leading research roles at JPL, Edinburgh, UCL, and the Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale, blending hands-on data analysis with forward-looking methodological work on how to extract robust cosmological constraints from next-generation observations. Known for critically challenging standard cosmological models, she combines deep theoretical grounding with practical survey science and pipeline thinking. Based in Pasadena, she brings a European training in physics and a track record of collaborative, impact-driven research that bridges academia and large national observatories.
